His 47-year-old brother went to help look for the food and accidentally knocked over Zipperer's beer, the witness told deputies.

The brothers then got into an argument and Zipperper got a knife from the kitchen and stabbed his brother in the stomach, deputies said.

Deputies said the brother had a small puncture wound on his stomach and found blood leading from the kitchen to the bedroom.

Deputies also located a 6-inch knife with blood on it, a sheriff's report said.

Zipperer was apologetic while talking to deputies, said the sheriff's report, which also stated that he threatened to beat his brother when he was out of jail.
